[Empathy and prevention: from the child's viewpoint. Comments on a school diary developed from dental prophylaxis messages].
The paper presents, explains and comments on the theoretical, practical and applied aspects of a collaborative enterprise between Health Services and a primary school in the context of a dental hygiene and preventive project organised by the USSL no. 19 in Mediobrenta. The enterprise in question concerned the experimental writing, by the children themselves, of a school diary, based on messages regarding dental health and hygiene formulated by the Odontostomatological Service in line with learning processes and communication models used during infancy. The experiment formed part of the general active approach of modern psychological pedagogy, and proved particularly efficacious in introducing medical concepts to an infantile population which would otherwise have met with much greater resistance.
